Contrary to their advert there is not a swimming pool here. The image of the pool is a children's pool located about 1/2 mile away. Property could do with being refurbished. Damage to walls, metal on table was very rusty

Good but definitely room for improvement

I loved the location, straight across the road from the sand dunes and beach. Also a great coffee cart over the road. First impressions of our room was good. However, the first night in the double bed was not comfortable. My partner moved to the couch half way through the night, but unfortunately the blinds didn't work so he was awoken by the sun between 5 and 6am. Second night was better when we removed the electric blanket (wires were very annoying), and put a duvet under the bottom sheet. Aside from those issues I'd say it's all good as long as you aren't expecting luxury.

The photos online are deceiving. The apartment we were placed in was too small for our family of 6 and really run down. We were supplied with the world’s smallest bin in the kitchen and they put floor boards in the bathroom and asks people not to get them wet… you’re in a bathroom. There were cracks in all the walls, doors didn’t shut properly and a homeless man started sleeping in the laundry halfway through our stay. We wouldn’t stay here again. The only thing it had going for it was that it was close to the beach.

We didn’t realize that there was no manager on site so had to wait on arrival for a bit, no worries...one of the bedrooms had a large previously wet area on the shower wall side floor, shower leaks on bottom in two places, mould on bottom of bed sheet, dirty bedding in kids room..whole unit was very damp and although heated pump was on low the whole time, heavily condensated throughout unit. Smoke detecter in kids room fallen off roof. The floors were freezing and we had to leave shoes on unless in bed. The adults bed was terribly uncomfortable with springs poking us all night. Tv and large, foldout couch all good but one night was enough. Paid for multiple, not for us thanks.

Great view. Good location. Property poorly maintained and not lockable. Was told to jam the broom into the sliding door track to try to secure it as two single women it did not feel safe.

Not being able to lock the front sliding door was the biggest issue. Unit security was extremely weak. The stairs access door had to be held shut to ensure the auto lock actually engaged. The flooring outside of the bathroom has lifted causing a tripping hazard that we had to be very aware of. One out of four bathroom heat lamps were working and the main light didn't work. We requested additional FOB keys but there was only one available. The garage allocated to us had the unmistakable stench of urine so we took another which caused issues with other guests. Will not be recommending this location.

Didn’t like anything about this property, 4 sets of stairs to climb with suitcases to my room, no lift, it had been cleaned but was still grubby, mirror in bathroom cleaned at bottom but marks all over the top, the cupboard in the bathroom had paper ripped all over the floor, maybe a rat! The overflow on the floor was full of water and spider webs cover the top.Very uncomfortable bed, blind in bedroom had strung to hold it closed, had a hole in it which was taped over with silver wide tape!!! Couldn’t get tv working but on last day manager came and sorted, one remote to turn on 2nd remote was for functions, should had left instructions? Would I stay here again, NO, paid way too much for this room!

Great location. Excellent parking. Needed some tidy up. Air con not working, shower head didn’t fit holder, so water sprayed everywhere, not enough towels 2 towels for 2 people for 4 days, very small rubbish bin with no instructions where to empty it. Value for money, just needed a few tweaks.
